Danger Is My Business

Besides the great art within, the writing is fantastic. Lee Server always keeps it interesting and doesn't linger on a point too long. He provides a good overview of the pulps: what they are, how they formed, how they stayed alive, and how they died. He provides some bios of the major authors (whether or not they are collectable) and editors. And provides great information on the various genres. If you're interested in pulps at all, i would recommend this as a great starting point before delving into this fascinating world.
